Muscovy keepers share your pics!

Can you give me a couple guesses on the sex of my Muscovy? The dark one is larger than the blues, but they seem to be feathering in exactly the same. All boys? :/

They are so precious! I want to cuddle them all!!! They are too little to sex at this point unless you do a vent check, which isn't really the best way to go on cuties that little. When they get a little bigger, the caruncles will be a dead giveaway!

If you don't want to breed your muscovies I would recommend two female different duck breeds, because then you'll only have the slightest chance to get ducklings and you drakes will still be happy and your females will to if they don't over mate them

This is still just temporary I want to get them females that are of the same breed & my geese a gander of the same breed.Patience dear sir patience!

My broody has finally started hatching. This cutie fuzzy hatched yesterday evening

I took it from it's ma this morning to keep my other one I hatched from incubator company, more ducklings are under mama but can't count them yet!!! So excited

My drake Elvis has been chasing Truffle a lot. I saw him mating Trouble, but she is much smaller and he squished her flat.

I have been going out looking for eggs, but none yet. They are in an enclosed pen, so idk where they might possibly be hiding them?!

Should I separate my drake? I want them to feel safe enough to lay eggs, but if they are always running away from Elvis because he is so amorous, it would be less stress on them?

I don't think the drake is stopping them my drakes terrorize my goslings like ten times a day & they still lay eggs it is possible but I doubt it.Stress that usually causes them to stop laying would be more like the lack of water & food then being bothered by there boyfriends.No matter what you do the ducks aren't going to be excited to mate with your drake because no matter what he is still going to be very aggressive & mean.How old are your ducks?
